    sounds like a cool book. I always read the negative comments on amazon and they were choice. "OMIGOD THEY ARE SHOWING NAKED BODY PARTS! I WAS SO EMBARRASSED FOR MY CHILD!"
    sigh... that's why the woman wrote the book. Please let me know what you thought of it.

    That looks like a great book. I'm going to get it for my daughter.

    This sounds great.
    That woman's comments are exactly why we need this book.

    What a great Idea! I could have used a book like that when I was being bullied about my body as a teenager (by my parents!)

    My daughter is definitely one who could benefit from this book...if she can bring herself to read it. She is SO squeamish!

    Thanks for posting this. Plan to get it form my daughter although I'll perhaps wait 'till she's in HS.

    I have two daughters one a teen and one almost a teen and after seeing this thread I ordered Body Drama and what a great book. Both my daughters had the same reaction which was " I don't want this book I know all this and they have boobs in it" but both have spent a lot of time with it this week and have told me how much information they are getting from it and how nice it is to get the answers to questions they don't want to put voice too.
